Jennika, aka the Nightwatcher, finds herself in a bind, captured by a very dangerous mutant. Will she be able to escape from their clutches? If so, will she be able to mend her relationship with girlfriend Sheena?
There’s a lot going on in Nightwatcher #5, even though the action and drama is mainly confined to two different scenes. But Jenika’s personal struggles, both in her vigilante life and in civilian life, are poignantly addressed by author Juni Ba. Despite being a strong and disciplined mutant, she has difficulty balancing the various elements of her life, regardless of her personality.
And even though she’s an armored vigilante mutant turtle, her personal struggles are still relatable. So far, Nightwatchers has had a lot of heart with a lot of tragedy and ultimately hope, but this is probably the first time we actually get to know Jennika herself, rather than the mutants of the week, who have private lives to save. sacrifice.
IDW’s TMNT comics have been particularly strong for a while, but the latest reboot does a great job of removing much of the hierarchical continuity without neglecting it, making each series more accessible to new readers. I did. This may be a harsh view, but if you look at it issue by issue, the underrated Nightwatcher may be its best work to date.
IDW uses its new logo for the first time in this issue, which concludes with an editorial about how cool and forward-thinking the design is. The problem is that since its publication last year, it has been widely mocked and ridiculed for looking terrible, and the editorial sounds like someone trying to convince themselves that they did something good and helpful. It just gives the impression that it is. It’s quite embarrassing. Still, that doesn’t detract from the overall quality of the comic. I thought this was worth mentioning given the fuss over thoughtless logo design.
